Raphinha overtakes Barcelona legend Ronaldinho in UCL record books | OneFootball

Barcelona star Raphinha has on Wednesday evening secured for himself an altogether noteworthy club benchmark.

This comes owing to his exploits in the Blaugrana’s latest outing.

Barcelona are of course currently locked in action on the continent, in a Champions League quarter-final first-leg meeting with Borussia Dortmund.

As things stand, Hansi Flick’s troops boast the advantage both on the night and in the tie, leading by a solitary goal to nil.

And responsible for as much, as alluded to above, was star winger Raphinha.

After a cleverly-worked set-piece saw Pau Cubarsí’s fine effort head for the far corner, the arriving Raphinha made sure, sliding the ball over the line.

And as alluded to above, in the process, the former Leeds United man secured for himself a special piece of Blaugrana history.

As revealed by StatMuse on ‘X’, Raphinha has now scored more Champions League goals for Barcelona than compatriot and club icon Ronaldinho:
